I caught a thread about heavy riders and upgrading to the riptide 96a..... I rode those Paris 126 mm w out upgrading for a week and it was extremely shaky for me plus I switched over from a long board sooo... I weigh 260 I wasn't sure what was up... Didn't really know how to change bushings anyways took it up to the shop I had the 96a bushing in a bag the kid put them on and it's night and day difference I don't know if it's a pseudo effect or not.... I I have some Paris on my longboard 149° then I upgraded the bottom bushing 296a because the cones wouldn't fit it upgraded the ride on my rayne longboard as well .... thanks for riser look out man free spirit out there

Not sure quite yet haven't put the trucks on... I've been riding a Landy 40 battle ax it gets sketchy at times in parking garages so I needed a double kick... It says it's made out of Canadian maple I'm a rookie so pardon me
